inmate-scraper's Introduction

inmate-scraper

Here's the database (it's in aspx, yay...)

Implementation notes

I'm interested in these tasks/questions:

  • I'd like to scrape regularly and remove duplicates to create a table derived from "Last 30 Days" that spans a longer time period.
  • What is the distribution of bail bond amounts for those who bonded out in the past 30 days? (Charged and then released).
  • What is the distribution of bail bond amounts for those currently incarcerated that have been in jail for more than 3 days?
    • (this can be implemented in the Google Sheet)

In general, I'm looking to identify people in the extremes, that is, people who couldn't get out of jail despite low bond amounts, and people who were released despite high bond amounts.

Dev thoughts

Ideally, I'd like to have this scraper automatically go to a google sheet that has some functions written in for the client to run at their leisure.

That would mean:

  • figuring out the selectors for what I want to scrape
  • storing that info in a delimited format
  • updating records in a google sheet via the Google Sheets API.

Smaller implementation:

  • can do the calculations that the client needs in a new field of their choice
  • just make sure that each CSV has the date it was exported in the file name
